Interesting 340i review

[Plaz]

What does it do for the diff? Assuming no LSD... usual computer-brakey trickery?

I feel like you can do better than a 340i but I'm having trouble coming up with something suitable.

Edit: get a 911.

Yeah e-diff crap. From what I've read it's better than what was in the e46. Still not good for performance driving but it's sufficient to help a bit in snow.

Yeah, I guess that tech, like everything else, can be expected to get better.

But as I recall, there was jack shit in the E46. In an uneven traction scenario, it just became either motionless (DSC on) or one wheel spinning (DSC off)

Yeah, e90 onward the DTC is much, much improved for snow.

To really appreciate how shitty it is in the E46, you need to drive an xi like I owned, in the snow

Yep. It's useless.
